Some prebuilds are not properly linked to their project

[gtsiolis]

Bug description

Some incremental prebuilds link back to an non-existent (unknown) base prebuild.

For example:

• Incremental: https://gitpod.io/t/gitpod/gitpod/493e214f-b816-4d55-b98d-5b414d5d35fe
• Base: https://gitpod.io/t/gitpod/gitpod/a39f6aa4-3c6d-4447-9e44-40411b38152b

Re-posting from Slack:

the base prebuild a39f6aa4-3c6d-4447-9e44-40411b38152b actually exists in the DB, but it's not associated to a Project 🤔

{
  "id": "a39f6aa4-3c6d-4447-9e44-40411b38152b",
  "cloneUrl": "https://github.com/gitpod-io/gitpod.git",
  "commit": "ddd3ced7bf335267d0553d8ea570dc6ed7b9fc63",
  "state": "available",
  "creationTime": "2022-01-17 06:20:29.782139 UTC",
  "projectId": "",
  "branch": ""
}

The missing Project association why it doesn't show up in the UI. However, I don't know why it didn't get associated (especially since the Prebuild is recent -- from 2 days ago) 🐛

Found this relevant log entry:

2022-01-17T06:20:47.504446Z Query INSERT IGNORE INTO d_b_prebuilt_workspace (id, cloneURL, commit, state, creationTime, buildWorkspaceId, snapshot, error, _lastModified, projectId, branch) VALUES ('a39f6aa4-3c6d-4447-9e44-40411b38152b', 'https://github.com/gitpod-io/gitpod.git', 'ddd3ced7bf335267d0553d8ea570dc6ed7b9fc63', 'building', '2022-01-17 06:20:29.782139', 'gitpodio-gitpod-s0q6z0qt15o', '', '', '2022-01-17 06:20:31.996503', '', '');

This is creating the prebuild with state building and both projectId and branch set to ''.

There are several updates after that to change the state, and every time projectId and branch are also ''.

Changed issue title to "Some prebuilds are not properly linked to their project" because that's the root problem (the unknown base prebuild exists, but it's just not associated with the project, thus it doesn't show up in the UI)

For anyone who finds this after the forced change to require a Team for access to the prebuilds page of the dashboard: You might get this "unknown prebuild" error on an initial prebuild after the conversion. Fix is apparently to check in some kind of commit (anything trivial will do, like a harmless whitespace change somewhere). That has (in at least one instance) kicked out a new prebuild properly attached to its project. (See discord discussion for example.)
